Emma Pooley leads young Great Britain team at Aviva Women’s Tour

Emma Pooley will add her experience to a young Great Britain squad at the Aviva Women’s Tour, which starts in Southwold on June 15.

The 33-year-old is joined by five other riders aged between 18 and 21 for the third edition of the five day race as she aims to convince the selectors she deserves a seat on the plane to the Olympic Games.

Lizzie Armitstead could form part of the Boels Dolmans team for the race, although the squad is yet to be announced. Anna van der Breggen is set to race for Rabo-Liv, while Jolien d’Hoore – second in the general classification last year – will represent Wiggle-High5.
